How do conditions Change as the depth of the ocean water increases?
As wer gets deeper there is less oxygen and it gets colder.
Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
Does water that flows quickly have less oxygen than water that is still?
Yes, water that flows quickly typically has less oxygen than still water because fast moving water has less time to make contact with the air, which is where oxygen is absorbed into the water. Additionally, fast flowing water can also disrupt the mixing of oxygen from the surface into the deeper layers of the water column, further reducing oxygen levels.
Why would ship wrecks be preserved better in deeper water than in shallow water?
Shipwrecks are usually better preserved in deeper water because there is less exposure to environmental factors like wave action, currents, and oxygen levels that can deteriorate the wreck. Deeper water also typically has fewer organisms that can contribute to decay. Additionally, the lack of light in deeper water can slow down the growth of marine organisms that can damage the wreck.
Why would ship wrecks be preserved better in deeper water than shallower water?
Shipwrecks are better preserved in deeper water because deeper waters have stable temperatures, lower oxygen levels, and reduced light, which slows down the decay process. Also, deep-water environments are less disturbed by natural phenomena like currents and waves, which can break down wrecks in shallower waters.
Does warmer water have less oxygen compared to cooler water?
Yes, warmer water generally has less oxygen compared to cooler water because oxygen dissolves more easily in cooler water.
As ocean depth increases?
As wer gets deeper there is less oxygen and it gets colder.
Is there oxygen on the ocean floor?
There is no free oxygen on the ocean floor. Oxygen is usually present in the water column, but it becomes depleted in deeper parts of the ocean where organic matter decays and consumes the available oxygen.
Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?
A ship floats deeper in fresh water than in sea water because fresh water is less dense than sea water due to a lower concentration of salts and minerals. This lower density causes less buoyant force to be exerted on the ship, making it float deeper in fresh water in order to displace an equivalent volume of the less dense liquid.
Why it is difficult to breathe in deep ocean?
It is difficult to breathe in deep oceans because the water pressure increases as you go deeper, making it harder for your lungs to expand and contract properly. Additionally, there is less oxygen available in deep ocean water due to lower levels of photosynthesis and mixing of surface layers with deeper waters.
Can you dive deeper on oxygen?
Yes. Because you are breathing in less nitrogen therefore less nitrogen can be dissolved into your blood. I think the average is 34% oxygen (Compared to the normal 21%) however 100% burns your lungs.
Why does dissolved oxygen decrease with temperature?
Dissolved oxygen decreases with temperature because warmer water holds less oxygen than cooler water. As water temperature rises, the molecules move faster and are less able to hold onto oxygen molecules, causing a decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.
